CHICAGO, November 3.-The Ar6eitey
Zsiiuag, the organ of the Anarchists, to-
day has long editorial on the action OF
the Supreme court, in which it says:
THE request of our eight comrades for
= writ of error, has been refused by the
Federal Supreme Court. For hundred
years. the United States enjoyed the repu-
tatlon OF being free country. Up to a
short time ago, such n reputation was GER
tainly most Justihable, but lately a few
pOSSeSSOrs OF the colossal riches produced
by the common people, usurped a criminal
power to psrvert and misinterpret the laws
created by the fathers OF this republic, in
good faith and progressive spirit They
spatter with mud the name of the
republic. The Supreme Court at Washing
ton, the German Imperial Court at Leipsig,
and the Martial Courts OF st. Petersburg,
stand on the same level. The Justice
which is being distributed under the au-
spices Of Jay Gould, Vanderbilt, It al,
wears not only bandage over her eyes,
but also q watchgord oD her breast which
reads: 'Fhe public he ID"
The article quotes from Ben Butler's
speech, where lie said that every one of
the jurors WAS prejudiced against the An
archists. 1t accuses the judges of having
been led merely by the desire of setting a
horrible example to the working classes to
keep them in submission. II warns the
judges that he who sogs the wind must
reap the whirlwind, and closed:
Heretofore the working people believed
in the existence of justice and equality in
this country. The cruellieS of their enemies
will open their eyes. Our comrades will
seal with their blood the truth that Liberty
and Justice can hardly raise their heads in
this country. However dear to Us the lives
of our brethren may he, we will have to
be Gousoled by the hope that this human
sacrifice will hasten the day when the
masses will learn to understand how they
were being fooled, and what bumbug has
been made OF Justice"

any man might be proud to address. 1t
came early, filled the vast house, staid late
aud cheered until the tulip-wood CEILINGS
echoed with TIE applause. There was
no concerted general parade, but from
every ward in the city came up cluo
marching with banners, transparenciesa ana
music. From 7 o'clock until 8 twenty
five clubs marched.rinto the hall, each
greeted by the cheers of those which had
preceded it and by the thousands III the
gallery and balcony. 1t was representa-
tive audience come to listen to State issues
dispassionately discussed. Mr.. PowelPs
appearance on the stage, the first view
thousand of Democrats had had of their
chief, brought out an enthusiastic welcome
that sent a warm flush into the Delaware
mans cheeks. 1t was minutes before he
could proceed with political ad-
dress that is the subject of uni
yersal praise. He handled national topics
briefly but succinctly. ToStste affairs he
gave his best efforts. Republican hypoc-
risy, fraud and chicanery were put in
white light. Governor Foraker was fairly
riddled by an array of facts iDdisputahle.
There was no seeking to stir up prejudice
or by appealing to passion. The truth
was told in a truthful way THAI carried
conviction and when at the conclusion Of
his address the great audience left the hal!
it was with feeling that right and Powell
made mighty strong team that Hamilton
